“Learn something new everyday. Thank you!” says a user. “They can see these planets’ weather but can’t predict the weather on Earth,” writes a commenter.

To which the video poster, @thegalacticgal, simply replies, “Science is cool.” “It blows my mind that we can tell that one side of a planet light years away is hotter than another,” observes a commenter.
